Boise State University Offers Extended Academic Deadlines for Firefighters

Boise State University will offer extended academic deadlines for admission, registration, housing check-in and fee payment for firefighters working to stop wildfires throughout the West. The deadline for students who can present proof that they have been employed as firefighters will be extended through Sept. 14.

Firefighters who are interested in taking advantage of the extended deadlines should call the Office of Enrollment Services; families of firefighters may make the arrangements for them.

Boise State is encouraging firefighting students to return to campus as soon as possible and to work closely with their professors to catch up. Class work for firefighting students will not be waived, but faculty and staff have been made aware of the firefighters’ unique situation and will work with them to make the most out of their classes.

For more information and to make arrangements for classes, call the Office of Enrollment Services at (208) 426-2384 or e-mail mhiemstr@boisestate.edu.
